Hi again. Thanks for the response to the first chapters. Must admit, I hadn't realised until I posted them quite how short the Wesley POV sections of this story are. I hope no one felt too short-changed?

Anyway, I've decided to keep up momentum by posting the first Spike POV part this evening when I get home from work. As you'll see, it's a very different story to the Wesley one, though they are of course connected.

As before, I advise anyone who didn't read my pre-posting post on Tuesday, which talked about the structure of the story, to read that before setting about reading the new chapters, in the hope of avoiding confusion. Likewise, though I posted a summary of Coming of Age on Monday, that was really aimed at the people who'd already read it, as a refresher. If you haven't read it, you really do need to read it first or Age of Unreason won't make much sense.

Someone asked me if I had Coming of Age as a Word file. Unfortunately, I don't. The story exists on my HD as lots and lots of separate Word files and I've never found the time to sit down and combine them into one. Unfortunately, too, I'm very bad at tagging. Always forget to do it.

Here is a link to the first part of Coming of Age, which is friendslocked. I hope those of you who haven't read it will enjoy it, and if not, at least you'll know whether or not Age of Unreason is a story you're likely to enjoy before setting about trying to read it.

Finally, I've friended everyone who asked to be friended. However, I tend to unfriend people after a week or so if they don't friend this LJ back.

ETA: Likewise, if you haven't actually asked to be friended, I probably won't realise, so please leave a comment here.

You can set a journal so that other people can tag entries for you. There are various settings, for example you can set up the tags and then people can use just those tags, or you can let them create new tags if they wish. You could change the tag settings and then maybe your hapless minions helpful flist will solve the tag problem for you. The details are explained in the FAQ on tags.

Hmm. Not sure it's even worth tagging Coming of Age since every post is the same thing. Is it?

[identity profile] diachrony.livejournal.com 2008-03-13 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello there! I friended this journal when I saw your post about it the other day. Do you not have email notifications turned on for that? (You can be notified by email whenever anyone friends or unfriends your journal.)

Please friend me back, thanks! :-)

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-03-13 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi. Just to let you know I friended you on this LJ.

I do get email notifications. I'm just very forgetful.

Hi there! I friended this journal when I saw your post about it the other day. Just want to say how much I'm enjoying Coming of Age.

It's wonderfully written, really captures the imagination.

Hullo. I've just found out about this, and it seems like something I would probably read. (I can't say if I'll be able to comment much, unfortunately) Please friend me back? :)

I've got Coming of Age in a Word doc (because I don't like taking my laptop into the bathtub, go figure!) I can easily send you a copy.

Re: Coming of Age file

It's okay. Someone has already sent it me. Thanks very much for the offer, though.

[identity profile] 7silverbullets.livejournal.com 2008-03-23 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, could you friend me, please? Coming of Age was great, and I'd like to read a sequel.

Sure. Will friend you.

Friends

Have been recommended to read Coming of Age so would really appreciate being Friended. I have already added you as a friend. Thanks with anticipation....

Re: Friends

Have friended you. Hope you enjoy the story.

Please may I be friended, ma'am. (I am over 18 and clean living. Plus I promise to pick up wet towels after myself.)

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I had to give it some serious thought, but well, okay.

[identity profile] wizardofodd77.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, could you please friend me. I heard about your story through a recommendation and would love to read it. Thanks!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy to as long as you can assure me you're over 18. Unfortunately, as there are no entries on your LJ and no info on your user info page I can't discover this for myself.

[identity profile] isoldam.livejournal.com 2008-04-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hi. I'd love to read your stories. Would you mind adding me? I've friended your journal already. I'm over 21.

Thanks
Isolda

Hi. I friended a while back and neglected to comment. Would love to read this fic!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-19 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi. Will friend you. Sorry to have been so long replying. I've been away.

[identity profile] ladykoori.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Was recently told I HAD to read these two stories. I am over your age requirement. Thanks!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-19 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I assure you they're not compulsory, but you're welcome to read if you want. Will friend you - and sorry not to have responded earlier. I've been away.

[identity profile] nika-dawson.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello. I heard about your fic Coming of Age and was directed here from seeking_spike and told I would have to friend your journal to read the fic.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, if I haven't friended you already (I think I have), I will do it now. Sorry not to have responded before. I've been away.

[identity profile] dark-amia.livejournal.com 2008-04-14 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey honey, would it be possible to be added, please?

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-19 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I thought you were already friended to this LJ, but obviously I was mistaken. Will friend you right away.

Sorry not to have responded before. I've been away since Tuesday.

[identity profile] acacia5.livejournal.com 2008-04-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Could you please friend me as Danna now has me desperate to read 'Age of Unreason'.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-04-19 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi there. Sorry to have been so long responding. I've been away. Off to friend you and hope you enjoy the story, though you need to read Coming of Age before you read Age of Unreason or AoU won't make much sense.

Hello. Sorry to have been so long responding. I've been away.

Have friended you so you can read the story whenever you want. Hope you enjoy it.

[identity profile] cozzybob2.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I've heard so many awesome things about this story, so I'm sort of begging to be friended so I can read it. I'm 22, and legal, but you can check my profile if you want. ^^

I also have to say that I've read your other fiction, and you have some seriously AMAZING talent. Very rarely can I be chilled by fic writers anymore, but you really seem to pull my strings. I'm craving this fic like whoa. ^^

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hi. Will happily friend you. I hope you enjoy the story, though you'll have to read the first story, Coming of Age, before you read Age of Unreason or it won't make much sense.

Coming of Age starts here (http://glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com/850.html#cutid1).

So the friending that was here for Coming of Age is gone? If so can I be friended back? I didn't even know your first chapter were up! Omg, I'm in suspense now. I hate it.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-05-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello. How odd. I thought you were already friended to this LJ, but now I see you're not. Maybe LJ kicked you off for some reason. It seems to do that now and again.

Will friend you again at once.

Have friended you. Enjoy.

[identity profile] jinsai.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello! I was sent her on a rec by [profile] cozzybob2 who says you are an awesome and glorious author who will scare the crap out of me so... Would you mind friending me and scaring the crap out of me? I would love to read your work. =^.^=

Hm.. Should add I'm 25 and therefore very legal I guess...

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, I'll certainly friend you, though I hope you won't have the crap scared out of you.

Enjoy.

Could you please friend me? I originaial created my journal because I wanted to read Coming of Age but my last year of school (college) got completely out of control. I'd love to read it and the sequel.

Thanks :)

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I'll friend you back. And you created an LJ just because you wanted to read CoA? That's very flattering. I hope you won't be disappointed.

Refriend me?

[identity profile] newtwar001.livejournal.com 2008-05-31 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I was friended ages ago so I could read Coming of Age.But recently, I haven't been able to access it. I guess that's because time passed and I was inactive on LJ for almost a year--RL issues. Would you please refriend me so I can read it again and your new one? Please!

Re: Refriend me?

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-06-02 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Have refriended you. Hope you enjoy the story.
